baseball team journeyed to Gas

was the second game the boys from
Cave Junction had played and it
was taken for granted that the
boys from Gasquet, who have been
in harness for some time would
be on the heavy side of the score.
The Cave Junction team worked

The boys are practicing and the

out and yell for their team there

The Cave Junction team wishes
to thank the merchants for their
support in helping purchase equip

that they will do their best to put
the Cave Junction baseball team
on the map.
